Portrait of Rod Kruz

Bio

Rod Kruz is a multi-instrumentalist and producer based in Munich, Germany. He produces alternative metal, industrial rock and post-grunge with a high-energy, epicore edge, blending heavy guitar work with synth and orchestral arrangements.

His influences include Starset, Muse, Theory of a Deadman and Smash Into Pieces. That mix of weight and scale runs through his own songs, the Echoes to Freedom project and the epic covers on Become Epic.

He is always looking to connect with fellow musicians to collaborate, co-write, and bring new or existing ideas to life. Get in touch.
